Bio

From Athens - Greece, where I've been living for over two decades,
I'm sharing with you 15 years of Yoga Teacher & 10 years of Life Coach practice.

Hi! My name is Valerie Saier. I was born in France and I’ve been living in Greece for the past two decades. I speak Greek, French and English fluently. I’ve been teaching Yoga 18 years.

I am an ERYT 500 Hatha Yoga & Yoga Nidra Teacher as well as a Life Coach & the author of "Yoga Nidra - The sleep that wakes you up" published by Kedros (only in Greek for the moment).

I believe that Yoga is for “every-body” and that the postures are not mere physical exercises but a holistic practice that works on the physical, emotional and mental levels.
Free soul and explorer, I have learned different styles of yoga and techniques (Hatha Yoga - Yoga Nidra - Life Coaching – Mindfulness) which help me bridge Eastern philosophy and the Western way of life.
Yoga has integrated itself into my life and is now a part of who I am.

I will be happy to guide you in an exploration journey which will enhance your sense of balance, strength and peace.

My Life Coaching approach is practical, realistic and holistic. The strategies and techniques I use come from coaching, positive psychology and personal development. Acceptance, warmth and openness are the hallmarks of the conference atmosphere. All I will ask you is: be curious, be spontaneous and enjoy every conference.

Trainings

My acquaintance with Yoga started in 1993 in France, with the Satyananda Yoga system. In 1998 I graduated from the French Gymnastics Academy -B.E.E.S.- with a diploma from a sports teacher.

In 2004 I traveled to London, where I attended a full 300-hour teacher training seminar recognized by the Yoga International Network for two years. At the same time, I attended lectures and meditation classes at the Brahma Kumaris University branch.

In 2007 I obtained the Yoga Alliance diploma. My last training was in Yoga Nidra with Swami Madhurananda, a member of Vishwa Yoga Samsad and International Advisors & Director of the Ayurvedic & Contempory Sciences.

In 2012 I did my NLP Practitioner & Therapy Line Time © training, in Greece, with Myrsini Kankel who was a trainee of Dr. Tad James PHD, the creator of Timeline Therapy ©. I also did my postgraduate NLP and Mindfulness, in England, with Anthony Beardsell, who wrote "Mind management & Mindfulness". These trainings provided me with excellent tools and valuable knowledge in terms of improving well-being, raising awareness and awareness.
